ABOUT the only farm crop not re-
ported nipped by the frost is wool, and
as the wool harvest approaches man
ufacturers discover that there is a
good stock on hand, and that for sew
eral reasons the wool market will be
dull and prices low, etc. Had the
frost spared the wheat and nipped the
wool, the bulls and bears would have
had to exchange places, but the me-
nagerie would have been just as large
and noisy as at present.

house three persons were found dead,
sitting around the room as they had
been conversing when the gas overcame
them. The other families in the neigh

in the pipes which runs through the

HERE has been marked demand in

horses to go to England, and the
prices on such horses have advanced
very materially. The English agent
represents a West London firm, which
makes Il business of renting horses by
the season, but never for less than six
months. Blood is not necessary in the
horses wanted, though it is preferred,
but action and style are essential, and
but small percentage out of 100 Ameri-
ran carriage horses comes up to the
English idea. A cross between the
Kentucky and Missouri animal. with
the front build of trotter instead of
such strong inclination toward a draft
horse. is what is desirable. The prices
range from $l75 to $500, an average
uf $500.

THE Cherokees are about to test the
power of the Government to grant rights
of way to railroads through the Indian
Territory without the consent of the
tribe whose reservation is traversed.
They are careful to say that they do
not question fhe power of the Govern
ment to take lands for its own use.
The right Of eminent domain settles
that. But they do claim that the land
can not be taken from the tribe and
given to an individual or Il corporation
without the tribal consent. Chief
Bushyhead has employed ex-senator
Joseph Z. Mcdonald. of Indiana, to
represent the tribe, and Mr.. Mcdonald
has associated with him John c. FAY

to Denison, Tex. The decision will be
